1. Roosters for Year of the Fire Rooster 2017

Chinese New Year falls on the 28th January 2017 and during Lap Chun (Lichun) which falls on Friday, 3rd February 2017 at 11:30pm, we will usher in the Year of the Fire Rooser. This year Lichun day also happens to coincide with People's Day (Renri) on the 7th day of Chinese New Year. (To find out more, please click on the highlighted links).

On Lichun day, we celebrate the beginning of spring which signifies new hope and new opportunities.

4.

Parrots on Spanish Beard (Tillandsia usneoides or Old Man's Beard)

The theme of Chinese New Year 2017, Year of the Fire Rooster shall undeniably be the Rooster
and related feathered friends of the bird family
and this include the Phoenix, Birds of Paradise, peacock, parakeets and parrots too.

Yes, they can. Pussy willows can sprout shoots, green leaves and their elongating catkins is a sign that the flowers are blooming. Potted sakura can be grown here too. Place them in a cool but brightly lit area. The only problem is that they usually don't last longer than a year and will not re-flower again. Just enjoy while it lasts during the CNY period.

Happy New Year, Kung Hei Fa Choi! Those are lots of colorful flowers for the New Year. I can see lots of hippeastrum bulbs, oh we don't have them here. Once i exchange a few bulbs with Ker Ai Choo. Am glad to be here again.
